Detailed Solution

Take O as the origin. 
Let a, b, c be the position vectors of the vertices A, B, C of the triangle. 
Since a, b, c are coplanar there must exist a relation of the form 
xa+yb+zc=0,  (x, y, zR , not  all zero)     . . . (i) 
yb+zc=xa
 yb+zcy+z=xy+za
Now yb+zcy+z is a point on the line BC.

Equation of OA is r=ta
Thus xy+aa is a point of AD.
From (ii), OD=xy+za 
ODAD=|OD||AD|=xy+z×y+zx+y+z=xx+y+z

Similarly, OEBE=yx+y+z and OFCF=zx+y+z 
Adding, ODAD+OEBE+OECF=x+y+zx+y+z=1
